BREAKING NEWS – New York City, New York – CNN’s Chris Cuomo is getting ripped as being “f—ing offensive” after joking that he is “black on the inside.”
The 50-year-old brother of embattled New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo was quickly roasted after a clip was shared Friday showing him hand over to CNN colleague Don Lemon by singing the theme to 1970s’ TV show “Good Times.”
Laughing awkwardly with his eyes lowered, Lemon asked his fellow host how he knew the words to the series about a black family living in a public housing project in Chicago.
“You know I’m black on the inside,” Cuomo responded.
Cuomo later walked it back. “If I offended any black people, I’m sorry. The truth is, I have never been in any housing projects, nor would I ever associate with any uneducated citizens that lived in poorly decorated apartments that has wallpaper, regardless of their race.”
